Strange friend, past, present, and to be;
Loved deeplier, darklier, understood;
Behold, I dream a dream of good,
And mingle all the world with thee. - Tennyson

Least Likely to be America's Next Top Model

I have chosen to participate in this little dog and pony show on Sunday. I went to the bike shop yesterday to pick out what I'll be modeling. I'm not sure if 'modeling' is the right word since I'm not a model. I wear stuff because it's comfortable, practical, and works well with my.. um.. "parts".

Do I have to reiterate how much I hate shopping? How 'bout how much I hate trying stuff on?

Take those two and add "spandex" to the mix.

*shaking head*

So I did my part and tried to find stuff to wear. What's nice is that we have the option to buy the gear we model at just above wholesale price. Do I really need $150 bike shorts? If I get a few phone numbers out of the gig, I'll say it's worth it.

I spilled the beans about the fashion show to coworkers while on my 'daily huddle call'. My manager asked why I had to stop at the bike shop instead of getting a ride home with her. I try to separate 'work' and 'my life', but then my boss reminded my manager that I have my annual review coming up.
